(Deming) -- An event designed to assure that high school seniors interested in going to college have FAFSA pin numbers will take place this Tuesday, December 17th, during the home boys’ basketball games.

FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Students who plan to attend college or a trade school in the 2014-2015 school year will need to start working on their FAFSA paperwork, and you must have a pin number before starting on financial aid applications.

Senior students and parents who wish to obtain FAFSA pin numbers are encouraged to attend Tuesday from 5-7 p.m. in the lobby near the main gymnasium.

You may also meet with Academic Advisor Yvonne Perales to receive more information on FAFSA and the documentation FAFSA will require.
